Haha, I just took a look at scores posted from the opening day of season 39, and it just sunk in. Division I scores are at 86+ on the first night! No wonder there is a problem with perfect scores. Who does that on their first show in reality? Scoring system desparately needs to be re-aligned. Oh well, we can only do what we can do. Will chug along and see where it takes us.

Haha, I'm already 23 points off the lead. I may end up campaigning too, cant't let you guys leave me in the dust next season. Though in DII I made up that gap, just don't see it happening in DI.

Kiwidrummer,

I am actually surprised that my Color Guard didn't score higher on the opening night of shows ... Based on how well they were rehearsing ... LOL !!!

FastForward, man, that's crazy. I can see why so many groups feel so intimidated coming into D I. Idon't really want to campaign, so I will just keep rehearsing and hope I can get that 30+ point gain from my opening score. I think breaking 92 would be respectable in my first D I season.

SOrry for being such a loser this season, Jim. I already started campaigning. There is no turning back.. I've been rehearsing my tookus off the past few seasons.. i'd like to take it easy for a change. With my campaign money doubled, i should be lookin nice next season.

Loser? Where? We don't have any losers in our league. Everyone has their own strategy. none are wrong, just different. I know about busting your tookus, mine is dragging too lol. I should have spent on doubling campaigns, but I chose the extra energy, then found out it is a waste.I thought it gave you 5 extra energy every hour lol. Stupid me. You will be fine Katie. I will earn my money and influence at shows. Just a different way....
